Title Research: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

From: Watch the Titles

  • This sequence starts out by displaying the studio that brought us this film (Warner Bros.). Then, it shows the title of the film and all of the actors and people who collaborated to help put the film together.
  • Images prioritized here include stylized images of adults running and falling, as well as wide views of city streets and buildings.
  • These images carry an intense connotation, like that of a crime film. However, the cartoonish appearance of the images gives a less intense and more lighthearted feel to the film.
  • The film's opening sequence creates a comedic feel by implementing dramatically intense imagery and music. This is common for comedy films that have elements of action or thriller mixed in.
  • This film is targeted towards older audiences, particularly those who take interest in thriller stories but want a good laugh as well. Strategies that help it reach that target group include the use of spy-like music and images that intrigue the viewer. The title also works to do this, since it is designed in a way that makes the film look serious and intense, which may be misleading but will lead the targeted audience to a fun surprise, which is most likely what they are looking for.
  • Technology is used in a way that creates a comic-book-style animation, which captures the viewer's attention. There are also many wide shots involved; shots that show entire cities and people running or moving quickly between places.

Filming Time!

 Last Saturday, March 5, I began filming my opening sequence. I decided to film a small portion of the sequence only. This is because I wanted to split the filming process into multiple days. I first asked my mom if she would be able to take part in the filming. Thankfully, she was able to. We went outside to the front yard to film the establishing shot. This shot did not require either of us to show ourselves. I held the camera and pointed it forward for a few seconds. This is where I will edit in the opening credits and the title of the film. Then, I slowly panned over to my house to set up the next shot. Then, I changed into pajama-like clothes to film the next scene. I turned on my computer and opened a Word document to type on. As I was typing, my mom began recording. She slowly walked down the hallway into my room while filming. I continued typing Henry's diary entry, not paying attention to the camera. Next, we shot a few more shots of me typing on the computer. We shot a fe...

  Christopher Hayman and Sarah Samuels For this commercial, my partner and I are going to advertise the popular shoe brand Nike. Nike offers many different types of products, such as shoes, jerseys, bags, socks, and many more accessories and equipment. However, they are most commonly known for their shoes. One example of a product branded by Nike is the ZoomX Invincible Run. These shoes include soft, responsive foam, and a Flyknit upper that allows your feet extra security and breathability. They are only one of Nike's most tested shoes. These qualities make it an excellent choice for shoes that you can run and exercise with. Another product of theirs is the Air VaporMax 2021. These powerful shoes are complete with extra-stretchy Flyknit fabric, a recycled TPU heel clip, and a switched-on Swoosh that make it a pleasurable jog. Not only that, but they are made from at least 40% recycled materials. The Nike Revolution 5 is another one of Nike's most impressive products. These sho...

Commercial is Done!

I am very excited that our commercial for Nike shoes is finally complete. Sarah and I have spent several weeks working hard on it, and it is incredibly satisfying to see it come together in the final product. The best part of this project was being able to insert our creativity into a real piece of media. It took a long time to complete and perfect, but it was a unique experience and I learned a lot while doing it. I learned how to plan and execute digital media and how to showcase creative talent through it. I also learned how to edit footage and merge it into a full-length film, which was incredible. Also, I loved being able to advertise a company that is as well-known and liked and Nike. Being able to demonstrate the greatness of their products was awesome. We are very happy that this commercial has come to be what it is now. Our work has definitely paid off, and we can't wait for you to see it!
